Cool scenes from la playa in Puerto Armuelles this week.

It was cloudy for that big full moon here, but got a neat shot anyhow. #panama

Que bonita es mi Panamá?

Scenes from Boquete.

Very cool new restaurant in Casco Viejo - KAANDELA. All scratch, fire-cooked on a wood burning Argentinian grill.
I had the crispy pork shank that was served mu-shu style with hand-made flatbread.

Guess it’s time for the states to decide individually.

Puerto Armuelles is a quaint beach town right on the Costa Rican border. In part of the town one side of the road is Panama and the other is Cost Rica.

On my 12k walk this morning.

The vast majority of quality firearms are made of imported steel, and, to a a slightly lesser extent, manufactured outside the US. Will be wild.

So, a king. That’s what we’ve got.

I am not going to bother an already-stretched thin government agency with collecting seeds.

I can shit talk about multiple things at the same time.

BTW, Yes, I did take my phone. No, I didn't check Bluesky.

Hi. Sorry it took me a bit. Just got back from a long trip.
No car necesary if you're downtown.
4 days is good. The Haven is nice. Villa Alejandro too. Great restaurants and eco-tours available.
Try to make time to go to Bocas del Toro too. Awesome island vibes/food/activity.

Ever wonder what the best high-end restaurant in Panama is? It’s the city’s best-kept secret.

One of my favorite restaurants in #boquete Basar.

Might as well give them each two, they're going to need them for smokin' that felon's mushroom.

Snoop Dogg Thanks Trump for Pardoning Death Row Records Co-Founder Snoop Dogg thanked former president Donald Trump for pardoning Michael “Harry O” Harris, who helped found Death Row Records.

They've had Snoop since '21. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Not sure where you're looking, but it is subjective.
Have you come to Boquete and done a cupping at one of the good fincas? You may find your cup.

It’s another gorgeous day in Boquete. If any of you are here I hope you brought earplugs for the next two nights of Féria. It’s going to be loud and late in Bajo.

Another day chasing the perfect cup of coffee in Panama. This was at Cafe Don Nery in Boquete, sitting next to the farm where it's grown. #panamaexpats

Welcome to the group that's all about the expat lifestyle in Panama.

Hi all. First post in this feed for expats in Panama.
I've been living in Panama since '21.
I am a permanent legal resident. Previously I was in Panama City and then moved to Boquete, where the temperatures are like an east-coast US spring day every day.
Feel free to ask any questions you'd like.

I love learning new words like this! Gracias.

Over morning coffee I realized it's been a minute since I've logged in.
Everyone ready to ignore Monday's shitshow?
How are you all anti-celebrating?

It isn't though. George said the felon was convicted of rape. He was not, in fact, convicted of rape.
That being said, it's time for Hillary, Obama, Walz, and Uncle Joe to sue him for libel/slander/defamation for every provable lie he told about them.

In the absence of a clear enemy the GOP will come up with one. They were hoping we'd all hate trans people, or immigrants. That didn't turn out so well I guess.
The main point is that we hate someone.

Apropo of nothing, one of my favorite #christopherwalken scenes. youtube.com/clip/UgkxWlC...
